Effects - Loathing Caffeine

[Noctis]

From everyone Swin's ever known, Swin's the only person who's never liked caffeine. At all. Of course, Swin's had several people who became addicted to caffeine and subsequently suffered from withdrawals after abstaining from caffeine consumption, having previously consumed it for lengthy periods of time.

Swin's never gotten any benefit at all from caffeine.Swin doesn't get a burst of energy from it at all, or anything like that, it only makes swin's heart rate increase dramatically which is rather unpleasant--this is the reason swin's prescribed to anxiolytic medications.

Swin can consume caffeine in small amounts (e.g., drinking tea), but even a typical soda will bring about panic-attack like symptoms. Because of this, Swin has refused to partake in the use of just about all CNS stimulants. Swin likes to be chilled.

Swin does use swedish-style snus and smoke a tobacco pipe--nicotine has conflicting properties. If swin has already consumed a CNS depressant, the nicotine... I wouldn't say potentiates it, but it definitely smooths things out. Without taking a CNS depressant, the nicotine does increase Swin's blood pressure and is uncomfortable (sort of like caffeine is).

Does anyone else react with this to caffeine, or even nicotine, and has anyone heard of anyone else reacting similarly?
